Families Forward is a two-generation (sometimes up to three-generation!) program that offers education to both children (Age 0-5) and parents located in Pasadena for over 50 years. Formerly known as Mothers' Club, we have grown to include all family members and are looking to continue bringing in all people to build a strong community for supporting low-income families in our area!
We are looking to bridge the generational gap by bringing older adults (55+) and preschoolers together for a fun story time. Either in the morning or in the afternoon, come and read books in our on-site library to a small group of preschoolers to help promote a foster grandparent feel (since some of our families do not have grandparents nearby!) as well as to help promote literacy for our little ones.
Hope you can join us or maybe you know a retired friend who is looking for somewhere to volunteer some time! Please feel free to reach out to volunteer@familiesforwardlc.org directly, or you can call (626) 792-2687 ext.121

About Families Forward Learning Center
Location:
980 North Fair Oaks Avenue, Pasadena, CA 91103, US
Mission Statement
Families Forward Learning Center prepares families isolated by poverty, lack of education and inadequate social support to succeed in school and in life by increasing the skills and education of both mother and child.
Description
Families Forward is built on two guiding principles: in order for significant, long-term change to occur within an at-risk family, you must reach both parent and child and educate them together; and, the most critical time to reach a family is when children are proven to be most vulnerable and impressionable, between birth and 5 years-old.
Our clientele are English-learning, low-income mothers in the Pasadena community. They take intensive literacy and parenting skills courses onsite, gaining critical skills in English and learning to be their child's most important teacher. Simultaneously, their children are also on site, playing, learning, and thriving in our early childhood program (ages six weeks to five years).
Our services prepare children for kindergarten and empower mothers to help their children succeed in school and in life.
